might just be me, but i honestly feel a little bored so far this season. The main plot would almost be seen as a loose end in the previous seasons. The preview for next episode looks like it picks up a bit. But so far it just seems his predicament is so mundane compared to previous seasons.

I have loved every episode of this show... season 3 has been really good, slowing the killing down has created a more sophisticated predicament, because the show isn't just about a serial killer, its way deeper and psychological than that. I don't think this season has been a disappointment at all.

I agree 100%. I'm liking this change of pace! Is Miguel really going to get involved this time? We rented season 1 & 2 again so my brother could catch up to speed with Dexter (it's now his favorite show) and I noticed something... in the first few episodes of season 1, Lt. LaGuerta seemed to have a sexual interest in Dexter, anyone remember this? What happened to that?
